I use SA as an enduser.  In my setup, messages in a certain score range
aren’t delivered to the mailbox but are held for a few hours so they can be
resubmitted, giving DNSBLs/DCC a chance to pick up on new spam.  The idea
here is that very high scoring messages (for me >15) are dumped in a folder
that is never reviewed but intermediate scoring messages are put in a folder
that is reviewed, so a recheck allows the effort of manually checking mail
to be minimised.

This works pretty well for me but the AWL sometimes gets in the way: the
second time messages are processed they are often scored higher because of
the DNSBL hits but the AWL averaging causes lots of points to be taken off!

Is there any way of either undoing the effect of AWL after the message is
first processed and I decide it needs to be rescanned later, or a
command-line option to stop AWL being applied the second time round?

I would rather not disable AWL altogether because I do get a fair few
messages from people which discuss spam and may have spammy content.

Any thoughts appreciated,

-- A.
